I got this fatdog64 on a 32gb usb, many gb are being wasted. I know that whatever special name was given to the save file can be changed. But, I am now going to talk about a different Idea.

I just want to mount the left over area of the USB Stick as a separate partition during boot for fast easy access to save files and get at them without having to worry that this save file that fatdog64 uses is too small.

I could not find a fstab, either my eyes are deceiving me or fatdog64 uses a different means to mount during boot, perhaps because it goes into ram. If I remember correctly.

regardless, how would I set this up to mount at boot so I can set it for a default saving directory?

/etc/fstab is where the fstab is
/fatdog64.XXX.sfs it is located in it. and when you boot the kernel opens that sfs file and works out of it. if you
edit anything it will be in the fatdog-unamed-save.sfs. the system looks at the saved first.

thanks, getting to late here to experiment right now.
I'm Frugal installed fat32
So, I'm not seeing any /fatdog64.XXX.sfs, perhaps that's why. or is this it?

/aufs/devsave/fd64save.ext4


quick question, should make it so that I can save to it off the web browser or torrent client?

Because changing permissions are not working.

getting name from fatdog64 faq



OR


would it be better to just give a full 32GB partition minus a little for a swap drive to fatdog64 ~ would that allow more space in the download folder???

As I forget actually what exactly that save file is for other then newly installed programs, and system changes. does everything one saves text files, zips and everything one downloads get saved in this /aufs/devsave/fd64save.ext4 file, because I gave like almost 3GB's?

I might be off base. But sfs are in

You cannot format the usb empty space because it is running off usb and files are in use on it.

Another usb with gparted on it can carve up, check, and do what ever to your usb drive with Fatdog on it.
But. If I am misunderstanding this thread. Well then.

Never Mind.

When I am in Puppy mode. I blank my mind on how other linux distros work. Even locations are not the same on certain things. Including command line syntax.

I'm just talking about plain ole storage space for data, not programs. within the fatdog64 file system.
/home/downloads how to increase the space to utilize the entire size of the USB Stick? Is everything within the OS, ie. Downloaded files kept in the 'Download' folder, installed on the usb stick saved in that 'saveFile'? if yes then what size limitations are on said "savefile"?

Google Searching ..... right now on it.
